i have hair loss and got to doctor and he gave me finasteride and minoxidil for my hair loss.
I have been using finasteride for two month and i didn't have any problem after two month i stopped using finasteride for two week (i finished all my pills , and i need to get new prescription).
after two week i start again using finasteride , after two day using finasteride i have itchy rash (it's really itchy) in my back and my armpit (both sides).
right now i stopped using finasteride , i want know what should i do ? should i stop taking finasteride for ever ? and rashes how long take to go away (should i take any medicine for that) ?

Be sure to see a dermatologist. He or she can tell right away if your rash is likely related to the finasteride or not. There are well over 100 reasons for skin rashes and without a photo it would just be a guess as to the cause of your rash.

i went to my doctor and he said it's noting to do with finasteride it just an allergy and prescribe me betamethasone (cream and vial).
after 10 day all rash gone , but recently i saw couple rash on my arm (it's just one or two) i don't why this happen.
